TL;DR
A recent project showcases a recreation of the iconic Christmas lights from *Stranger Things* for Halloween. The build utilizes a Xiao ESP32-S3 microcontroller paired with WS2812B addressable RGB LEDs, cleverly integrated into a standard string of lights to maintain the show's aesthetic. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by two LEDs, allowing for a bright display while keeping the overall current low since only one letter is illuminated at a time.
